Name Droppers


All of us have had conversations with “name droppers.” Right? Sometimes it’s no big deal but sometimes it can be a real pain. Right, again?

Well, have you ever heard of penny droppers?

I became a penny dropper several years ago in Oklahoma after reading one of Lilian Jackson Braun’s “The Cat Who…” books. Mildred, one of her beloved characters was a “penny dropper” and gave me the idea.


“Find a penny, pick it up,
All the day you’ll have good luck.”


More verses:
“Find a penny pick it up,
All the day you’ll have good luck.
Find a penny leave it lay
Bad luck you’ll have all day.”

or

“Find a penny pick it up,
All day you’ll have good luck.
Find a penny leave it there
all the day you”ll have despair.”

or

“Find a penny pick it up,
All the day you’ll have good luck.
Give a penny to a friend,
your luck will never end.”

or

“Find a penny pick it up,
All the day you”ll have good luck.
Put the penny in your shoe,
Good luck will come to you.”


Anyway, you get the idea of what I mean. Being a “penny dropper” means that I drop penny’s when I’m in public places! Trying to bring a little good luck to people!!

- It’s a feel good thing!
